before grid is created need row color based on column cell text

Hi,
Before I write the grid I need to change the row color to red,
if the column cell text is > 1. How can I do this ???
Thanks,
Cathy

I could use this answer also... been trying and trying, thought of formating it with HTML before I Load it, but then sorting is a PAIN

One way, I think

function getRowColor(pData){
if(pData==1) return 'red';
else return 'white';
};

function myRowColor(){
var value = //write here the code to get the cell vallue or whatever;
try{return getRowColor(value);}catch(error){}
return this.getProperty('background');
}


grid.getTemplate('row', 0).setStyle('background-color', myRowColor);
